A Call to Healing

When we utter or hear the words heal, healer or healing we think of doctors, psychologists, chiropractors, and massage therapists even. Often times we neglect the value of the role we play in life because of the value we place on contributions we make to society in our work lives.

I have worn many hats in my life, some that felt pointless, some that were more worthwhile. It wasn't until I began the journey of massage therapy that I began to take on a healing mentality in everything I did. I began seeing previous work roles I had in life as more meaningful than what I had initially considered. Think of your job, are you a carpenter? Or a healer of furniture and creator of homes? Are you a plumber or a water system healer and crisis manager? Are you simply an administrative assistant or a healer to stressed minds? Are you a janitor or a healer of maintenance disasters?

Each of us have callings in life, our jobs created for a reason. we can allow our jobs as chefs, tech support, secretaries, teachers, be roles that cause us strife, or we can seek to be beacons of health and prosperity in the lives of those we interact with. Our roles as healers would help create and sustain a more harmonious world.

How? You may be asking, how can my job of solving someone's miscellaneous technology issue be a call to healing? The concept is so simple we often forget: healing occurs when the body is able to maintain homeostasis. When people are stressed because their hard drive containing important files crashes, stress sores and the body loses touch of its ability to heal. Their call to someone who can heal their computer in turn relieves their worries and calms their nerves allowing the body to return to a homeostatic balance, preventing or boosting ability to fight dis-ease.

So here it is ladies and gentlemen, your call to be a healer. Your call to answer the worldwide plea for help. Everyday you have the ability (in and out of work) to be a healer. The person you smile at on the street may be reminded that today they CAN have a good day, your boss who is always nagging you for a report may find comfort in you doing the best you can. And remember, as long as you do the best you can each day then you have answered this call.

With love and light,
